D. Allow the readings to settle, then get the Model 2651A readings:
r50_hi, r50_lo = smua.contact.r()
E. Send the contact check low calibration command:
smua.contact.calibratelo(r0_lo, Z_actual, r50_lo, 50_ohm_actual)
Where:
r0_lo
=
Model 2651A 0 Ω low measurement
Z_actual
=
Actual zero value; the resistance of the short between the SENSE LO and
OUTPUT LO terminals
r50_lo
=
Model 2651A 50 Ω low measurement
50_ohm_actual
=
Actual 50 Ω resistor value; the actual value of the resistor between the SENSE
LO and OUTPUT LO terminals
Typical values:
smua.contact.calibratelo(r0_lo, 0, r50_lo, 50.15)
Where r0_lo is the same value as measured in step B, and r50_lo is the same value as
measured in step D.
F. Send the contact check high calibration command:
smua.contact.calibratehi(r0_hi, Z_actual, r50_hi, 50_ohm_actual)
Where:
r0_hi
=
Model 2651A 0 Ω high measurement
Z_actual
=
Actual zero value; the resistance of the short between the SENSE HI anD
OUTPUT HI terminals
r50_hi
=
Model 2651A 50 Ω high measurement
50_ohm_actual
=
Actual 50 Ω resistor value; the value of the resistor between the SENSE HI and
OUTPUT HI terminals
Typical values:
smua.contact.calibratehi(r0_hi, 0, r50_hi, 50.15)
Where r0_hi is the same value as measured in step B, and r50_hi is the same value as
measured in step D.
Step 6. Program calibration dates
Use the following command to set the calibration adjustment date:
smua.cal.adjustdate = os.time{year=2010, month=12, day=1}
Optionally, it is possible to set the calibration date and calibration due date with the following
commands:
smua.cal.date = os.time{year=2010, month=12, day=1}
smua.cal.due = os.time{year=2011, month=12, day=1}
